To all whom it may concern: I

Be it. known that I, WATsoN H. CLINE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Elkhart,' in the county of Elkhart and State of Indiana,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ventilatin Devicesfor Water-Closets, of which the fo lowing' is'a in ventilating devicesfor water-c osets, and the object-is to provide means whereby the foulair and gases from the closetbowl can'b removed during use.

Another object is to provide awater motor for operating the suctionmeans.

' The invention consists'of certain novel features of construction andcombinations of parts which will be hereinafter described andpointed outin the claim. I

In the accompan ing drawings Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical sectionof my invention; Fig.- 2 is a crosssectional view with the parts brokenaway, and Fi .3 is a rear view.

. A, represents the bowlo a water-closet of a "known construction havingthe usual water inlet 2 from the rear, Which encircles the top portionof the bowl through a channel 3 andis discharged from the channelsections.

through the mg. The rear. side of the bowl is hollowed out to form arecess or chamber 5, in which a housing or casing 6 is received. Thehousing or casing 6 is preferably made in two sections and is securedalong its edges bybolts 7, passing through the flanges 8, 8 of the twoAt the lower'end an outlet pipe 9 opening 4 to the bowl for flushisformed whichdischar es the water into an outlet channel 10, whichdischarges into the Waste pipe (not shown). The casing 6-is securedto .aplate 11 by screws 13, 13, which pass into sockets 14 on the casing; Theplatell is secured to the rear bowl by means of screws-12,,-'12.Journaled in the casin on a shaft 15 is a water wheel 16 havin buc ets'17.

portion and on the rear side of the bowl leadmg from the interior to therecess 5. A pipe 20 which is connected to the water suppy is connectedto the casing 6, through whic the water passes to the water wheel. Asthe wheel revolves the fan is rotated, creating a suction and drawingthe foul air and gases through the o enings 19 into the recess orchamber 5 an passes out through the channellO, into the waste pipe. Thepipe 20 is provided with a valve 21 for opening and closing the supplyof water from the supply:

' rom the foregoing it will have provided a means for ventilating thebowls of water-closets which can be ap lied to the bowl and will beentirely hidden rom view, and the noise incident to the operation of thefan and water motor is removed. Again this attachment can be applied tothe bowl and removed without in any wise interierinlg. with the flushingoperation of the Itis evident thatsli ht changes might be made in theform (If arrangement of the several parts described without departingfrom the. s irit and scope of my invention, and hence exact constructionherein set forth, but:

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is: I

In 'a ventilating device for water closets,

be seen that 'I I do not wish to be limited to the formed in the rearside and in communication with the bowl, a water motor received in thechamber, asuction fan connected to the water motor, a pipe for supplyingwater to the motor which water is discharged through a channel'leadinfrom the chamber, and a plate secured to t e rear side of the bowl forsupporting the motor.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
